   DHCP reservation (it's not actually a static IP as you assign the IP from    
   within the computer itself, not the router, for a static IP; a static IP is    
   when the computer tells the router what its IP is...in this case, the router    
   is telling the computer what its IP is) is a very nice thing.  I use that    
   heavily in my work when dealing with printers.
